5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
11 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
12 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
14 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
15 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
16 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
17 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
19 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
20 implementations; clients that use controlled
21 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
22 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
23 module instead for smaller code size.
25 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
26 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
27 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
28 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
29 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
31 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
32 implementations; clients that use controlled
33 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
34 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
35 module instead for smaller code size.
37 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
38 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
39 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
40 module if you need it.
42 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
45 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
48 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
49 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
50 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
51 module description for the applicable license.
53 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
54 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
55 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
57 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
58 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
59 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
62 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
63 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
64 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
66 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
68 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
69 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
71 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
72 error to standard error; that is now the
73 caller's responsibility. It returns an
74 error code of type enum strtol_error
75 instead of the integer option value, and stores
76 the option value via a new int * argument.
77 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
78 are now an option name and option argument
79 instead of an option argument and a type string,
80 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
82 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
84 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
85 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
87 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
90 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
91 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
93 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
96 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
97 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
101 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
102 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
107 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
108 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
109 that has a different signature.
111 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
112 #include "sigprocmask.h"
116 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
117 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
118 'long double' as a type exists.

165 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
166 iconv_string -> str_iconv
167 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
170 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
171 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
172 carray-list You can pass NULL.
180 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
181 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

204 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
205 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
